    R18 B/TC and the TFT

    My android connects fine. Key is to remove auto connect for any other wifi connection. This is a hassle at home and work to remember to manually connect each time but makes bike connection a non issue.

    How to ride in 28 deg F

    So my long ride Sunday Atlanta to New Orleans and back started and ended in mid to low 30s. I wired a coax port for my heated gear direct to the jump start post and it worked great. Prior to that I used the powerlet plug, I can say the gear was not nearly as hot on powerlet vs direct to...

    Navigation on the Bagger & TC Models

    Jack/Lift for the R18?

    Any link(s) to the options? Sounds like BMW has an option (for lifting bike so I can swap tires) and Kern-Stabi has an option. I'm confused with the Kern one, is it two widgets or one? I have some time but in a few months I assume I'll need a solution so that I can fix a worn out rear tire.
